Talking 9.70 @ 139.8

First time out this season with the car. Put both stock front seats in for the winter show circuit and decided to run it that way. Car weighed in at 3334 with me in it. It went a 9.79 @ 138.23. I was so excited that the car went that quick at that weight that I decided to pull the seats and put the race seat in it. Did that and the car went 9.70 @ 139.8. This was at Island Dragway in NJ. It's a crap hole of a track but both passes managed a 1.33 60' hazing the tires just a little. No changes at all since last year. Still waiting on my 90mm throttle body

I'll have video up soon.

I thought you sold that car to pursue autocross and road racing?

90mm T-bodies are in stock at TPiS, I had my hands on one last week.

It is still for sale and I am working with some autocross folks on a new project. But that won't stop me from having a little fun

TPIS wants a core for the shaft and spring, correct? I don't have any around the shop.
